Abstract

We will construct post-quantum encryption algorithms based on three-variable polynomial Beal-Schur congruence. After giving a proof of Beal's conjecture and citing some applications of it to selected cases where the discrete logarithm and some of its generalizations are unsolvable problems, we will investigate the formulation and validity of an appropriate version of the Beal's conjecture on finite fields of integers. In contrast to the infinite case, we will show that the corresponding Beal-Schur congruence equation xp+yqzr(modN)x^{p}+y^{q}\equiv z^{r} (mod \mathcal{N}) has non-trivial solutions into the finite field ZN\mathbb{Z}_{\mathcal{N}} , for all sufficiently large primes N\mathcal{N} that do not divide the product xyzxyz, under certain mutual divisibility conditions of the exponents pp, qq and rr. We will apply this result to generate the so-called BS cryptosystems, i.e., simple and secure post-quantum encryption algorithms based on the Beal-Schur congruence equation, as well as new cryptographic key generation methods, whose post-quantum algorithmic encryption security relies on having an infinite number of options for the parameters pp, qq, rr, N\mathcal{N}.
